Floored

Humorously (sort of), I fell asleep on the living room floor last night; it was after the show on PS about the real Doyle vs. Holmes -- interesting, with some things that I didn't know.  Anyways, it was 3:30 AM when I woke up; the lights were on, so was the laptop, and I of course immediately thought of the electric bill.  (That the gas bill came today didn't exactly help.)  Ok, I then shuffled off to actual bed, where I got some more sleep.  Funny; I sort of feel my cold breaking up, but I not tired now, though I should probably pack it in and get this thing beat.  Course, there is no point in lying in bed and thinking about things, not sleeping.

I didn't do half of the stuff I wanted this weekend, not sure why, though maybe I am just not moving as fast as I should (or once did).  My sister finally sent me an Xmas gift, so there is that, but... well, I will get it ordered tomorrow, what I can, and shop for the rest, but there have been times I have done -- save for the wrapping -- by this time, and of course I am unsettled.  Let us not discuss the concept of the tree, the Xmas decorations in the attic, etc.  

One consequence -- though I expected it -- was that I didn't hit early Mass today, and so I went to 5:30.  It was... fine.  I do prefer the early Mass, when the sunlight comes through the church, and there is something sepulchral about the Shrine early in the darkness.  But the important thing is that we did not have Democrat Holy Day, which is what counts...

This could be me, but hasn't Biden been checked out for a while longer than since the election?  I mean, I could argue he has been in the cooler since he bowed out of the race.  I have no problem with this -- like many Dems, I share the "forgotten not gone" theme of the campaign, but it is...vastly amusing.
